One thing to do is babysit der Kirbenhund. He's still not doing so well and can't be left alone because if he starts attempting to wander around, such as, for example, to see where Bunny went, he could fall and hurt himself. Like yesterday, when he fell and bit his lip and bled all over. Poor baby. Eric and I are doing tag-team telework and canine pharmacology. The weather is supposed to be nice, so I hope he can have sometime outside (being watched like a hawk).
That's an odd expression, isn't it? It means, of course, to watch something with carfeul attention, but it sounds a little like it's the hawk who is being watched. I suppose the contemporary equivalent would be "watch like porn," but I'm not going to be the one to introduce that into the lexicon.
